Chapter 23: Meeting
After separating from Leng Yue, Xia Qi asked Li Qiuping to call the daughter of the big man and ask her current address.
Originally, Li Qiuping had only contacted the big man before, and he would not have his daughter's mobile phone number, but before the big man was killed, when they met for the last time, he told Li Qiuping his daughter's mobile phone number, and told Li Qiuping that if he unfortunately had an accident, he must protect his daughter.
asked where the girl was, and Xia Qi then took a taxi to the downstairs of a residential building.
The three of them got out of the car, walked upstairs quickly, knocked on the door with a "knock", and heard the voice of a middle-aged woman inside:
"Who are you?"
"Hello madam, we are from the Public Security Criminal Police Brigade, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but we need to solve the case, and there are a few questions that need to be verified from you."
The middle-aged woman in the room didn't speak for a while, and it didn't seem that she wanted to open the door and let them in, until Li Qiuping suddenly said:
"Mrs. Xu, I'm Li Qiuping, we've met before, these two are in charge of your husband's case, and it's really urgent."
Xia Qi saw Li Qiuping running to the front and looked at him with deep eyes, but at this time, the originally closed door was slowly pushed open.
"Come in and talk about it."
The woman's bored voice came from within.
"This old lady knows she's a shrew just by hearing her voice, no wonder her husband wants to separate from her."
Liu Yanmin's attitude towards the women in the house is very full.
"Okay Minmin, don't do so much, let's ask a few questions and leave, and it's not about choosing someone to spend the night with you, what do you care about so much."
Xia Qi nudged Liu Yanmin funny, but Liu Yanmin didn't complain anymore. Just glared at him unhappily.
The three of them walked into the house one after another, and couldn't help but be a little shocked by the luxurious decoration in the house, Xia Qi took a rough glance, the area of the house was no less than 140 square meters, all of which were in the European royal decoration style, and it didn't look like a residence. It's more like a hotel.
A middle-aged woman in a nightgown was sitting on a large sofa, looking at them with a gloomy face.
On the way here, Xia Qi also inquired about the middle-aged woman from Li Qiuping. His husband's name is Xu Chenglin, that is, the big man in Li Qiuping's mouth.
His husband is in politics, while she is in business, and it seems that she is engaged in import and export trade, and she is very rich.
However, because the two people are usually busy with their own work, there will be contradictions over time. Although they are still nominally husband and wife and have not divorced, in fact, the two have been separated for many years and have no contact on weekdays.
Only on some occasions when they need to be their husband and wife come forward, they will get together for a short time, and when the matter is over, they will become passers-by again.
"Hello Mrs. Xu."
Although the woman's face was full of boredom, Xia Qi still greeted her with a smile, and Liu Yanmin was very unhappy when she looked at the woman. But at this time, I can only force a smile.
"Come and sit."
Xu saw that Xia Qi still respected her, and the coldness on the woman's face gradually dissipated. He made a gesture of please.
The three of them took off their shoes, sat on the sofa one after another, and then listened to the middle-aged woman say:
"Ask any questions, I'm going to rest."
"Actually, Mrs. Xu, we came here this time to talk to your daughter."
Xia Qi didn't want to waste time, so he picked out the topic at this time and said:
"You should be clear. On the day Mr. Xu was killed, the only person at the scene was your daughter, and she called the police. ”
"I think I should say it, I said it as early as the day of the accident, my daughter needs to rest now. Her father's affair left a big shadow on her. ”
The middle-aged woman's meaning was obvious, she didn't want her daughter to recall the events of that day.
Xia Qi also understands what women do, after all, this is out of the mother's protection of her children, but understanding is understanding, there are some things he has to ask her daughter face to face.
"Mrs. Xu, it's not that we are alarmist, this Zhao Guangzhen has been very unpeaceful recently, I think you should have heard about it, not only did Mr. Xu have an accident, but long before him, his two younger brothers and sister-in-law also disappeared for no reason.
And Mr. Li, who was sitting next to me, and several of his apprentices had also disappeared. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The woman's face was a little better just now, but after listening to Xia Qi's words, it became difficult to look at again.
"Where you are now."
Xia Qi looked at the middle-aged woman's eyes without blinking, as if he had seen her heart that was becoming shaky, and he continued:
"The police are handling the case, why did they invite Mr. Li, Mr. Yin and Yang, I think Mrs. Xu should be able to see something from it. Because this case is so unusual, as for the murderer, he is not even human. ”
"Not human!"
The middle-aged woman's face changed drastically, and at this moment, a young woman, also wearing a nightgown, walked out of a bedroom in fright.
This woman looks very similar to a middle-aged woman, about 20 years old, her face is pale and bloodless, and there is no doubt that she is Xu Chenglin's daughter.
"Qingqing, why did you come out, didn't Mom tell you to lie on the bed for a while."
"Mom, I'm fine, they came to look for me, and they called me before."
Xia Qi originally thought that Xu Chenglin's daughter was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, but now it seems that there is no need for them to play tricks such as coaxing.
The middle-aged woman was still worried and wanted to say something to the woman, but the woman asked Xia Qi directly at this time:
"My mother doesn't know about this matter, if there's anything you want to ask, you can ask me, as long as you believe it."
Seeing that the woman was so refreshing, Xia Qi stopped selling Guan Zi and went around, and asked straight to the point:
"I want to know about your grandfather, such as his relationship with your father, and the two uncles."
"Is this important to solve the case?"
"It's important." Xia Qi nodded solemnly:
"So I hope you don't shy away from it and be realistic."
"My dad and a few uncles don't have a good relationship with my grandfather, my grandfather needs to be taken care of when he is old, but my dad is usually very busy, and the two aunts think that grandpa has a strange personality and a big temper, so they are not willing to take care of him.
After several people discussed, they planned to send their grandfather to the nursing home, but the grandfather did not stay well in the nursing home, made trouble many times, and finally had no choice but to take it back.
Since then, he has been messing around with my house and my two uncles' houses. My two uncles were annoyed by my grandfather, so they rented a house and locked him up in it, just like a prison inmate, and went to bring him food every morning and evening, and hired someone to keep an eye on him, so that nothing would happen to him.
